Web Design  • UX
Designed in-house at Fivetran, 2024

Fivetran is a data movement company that seeks to make data as accessible as electricity. As a design lead, I worked in-house to evolve the brand system, drive the UX strategy and visual design,  and run UX experiments that improved engagement and lead generation for our sales team.

Moving up-market and improving engagement by 20% with a new, enterprise-focused homepage

Fivetran is now beginning to run more traditional, multi-channel marketing campaigns which will be driving a higher volume of top-of-funnel traffic to our website, and our homepage will likely be these users' first major entry point to Fivetran. Inspired by a growing number of PLG companies that have a ‘Why___?” page, this page seeks to have a clearer marketing narrative and highlight the multiple reasons why a prospect should choose their product over others. By shifting our homepage to a lighter background, leveraging more real-world photography that showcases recognizable customers and use cases, and adding more social proof to highlight our legitimacy, we believe that a new homepage design will better engage our prospects and drive a meaningful increase in website conversion.

We opted for a new approach to our homepage strategy with a stronger marketing narrative highlighting benefits and value over technical features and a lighter design direction with updated typography and real-world photography. We hypothesized that the new homepage would drive a meaningful increase in website engagement and in turn, conversion. The test ran for 6 weeks to all marketing site visitors

Creating a curated resource center on a new platform

An easier to use resource center benefits both our internal team and Fivetran customers. This curated hub surfaces relevant content to nurture users throughout their experience. Migrating the content and switching to a new platform also gives us more flexibility in marketing enablement, the ability to better understand user journeys, and allows for more testing and experimentation on these pages.

An updated newsroom to support press initiatives

In response to the growing business significance of news and press within the company, we revamped our newsroom. We used analysis from user heatmaps to guide the page structure and also introduced new dynamic elements on the page such as featured quotes and video content.  In addition to structural updates, we also updated the colors, typography, and UI styling of the page to feel inline with web updates like our new resource center.

Nurturing customer leads with landing pages

An array of landing pages were created for various marketing initiatives for top of funnel users. The page narrative and visual designs were crafted based on the personas they targeted, highlighting the most important information for each persona and creating a persuasive experience that would compel users to take the next steps in their journey.

Building a unified brand system

As our visual brand has become more mature and various ad-hoc changes have happened throughout the design organization, it was necessary to have a central place for brand rules and assets to live. Through this process,  I solved current design system pain points, established rules, and documented and shared these guidelines with the brand team as well as company wide to ensure brand consistency, accessibility and scalability.
